Former Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg is not a big fan of Brexit.

Now he has returned to deliver an even more scornful take on how the Tories have handled Brexit negotiations so far.
Appearing on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, the 50-year-old delivered a cutting Brexit analogy.

However, Brexit Secretary David Davis has already denied these reports and stated that there will be no payments.

Regardless, we can't help but be reminded of this Bernard Cribbins song which also works as a Brexit metaphor.
